Photoshopped photo of one of your models

There are two reasons why I chose this combination of materials and background. Firstly, wood, granite, and sand are nothing short of natural resources. They are the most original elements of the environment. I want my model to be as natural as the environment since most of the buildings, especially my hometown Hong Kong, are made up of man-made concrete which does not fit the environment and ruin the wilderness of nature sometimes. Secondly, I want to keep my stone-like model in nature as to where a stone should be. Being deeply impressed by water villas in the Maldives, I want my model to be located at the beach as well. It is nothing but a relaxing environment.
I have learned a lot of  Photoshop skills from this course so far and have fewer difficulties using it, comparing to the one I did in Week 2. However, I have found adding shadows and cropping challenging when it comes to objects with many holes on it like my model. Hard as it may seem, I tackled it with a smaller tool patiently. I am satisfied with my photoshopped photo this time! What an interesting activity and wrap up of this course.
